Glastonbury: Foo Fighters out, Florence in

Dave Grohl may have kept singing after he fell and broke his leg at a Swedish festival last week, but the Foo Fighters will be skipping one of the summer's largest gigs this weekend: the British music festival Glastonbury.

Glastonbury announced today that Florence + the Machine will take over the Foo Fighters' Friday night headlining slot after Grohl's band withdrew from the festival Tuesday.

The Foo Fighters previously cancelled the rest of their June dates in the UK and Europe after Grohl underwent surgery for his leg. Doctors have ordered Grohl to rest up at least through the end of the month.

"Once we heard the sad news that Foo Fighters had been forced to pull out, there was only one person we wanted to call and that was Florence," wrote festival organizer Emily Eavis in a post on Glastonbury's site. "Every time she has played here she's done something spectacular and we always knew she would headline the Pyramid one day. I'm delighted she's agreed to step up to it – she's going to smash it!"

Florence + The Machine frontwoman Florence Welch also knows a thing or two about breaking extremities at music festivals — the singer broke her foot performing at Coachella this year.
